Stan Tour 2009

Guitarist Mike McDevitt (Mac) is also very talented at putting together websites, taking pictures, video, etc...  He took all the footage we have and put the best of it together as a presentation.  This is only a fraction of the stuff we have, but it gives you a good idea as to how the Stan Tour went.  I thought about doing my own presentation, but why do that when there is already a great one out there.

Hi Matt, my name is Hank Doedtman from Effingham and am serving in Afghanistan. Here's a couple pictures of my guncrew and our truck, the "Three Bricks Shy." Hope you don't mind that we named it after your song, but it pretty much sums up our crew. We're all three "three bricks shy" so that describes us well. My driver's name is Kylie Dawkins from Louisville, and I'm the gunner. We're both really big fans of yours. Our truck commander is Dan Welker from northern Illinois and we're introducing your music to him. I read that you're coming to Afghanistan in April and I sure hope you can make it to Camp Phoenix, you got a ton of fans here. Well, your songs are awesome and thanks for all the support.

Snowman:  Well, where do I start? I'm from Corbin but my family lives in Russell Springs now so i guess that's home. I'm in the US Air Force and I am a mechanic. I work on construction and special purpose, heavy equipment. I'm stationed at Ramstein Air Base right now but I've been to many other places. I've hiked in the Swiss Alps, white water rafted in Slovenia, swam in the Meditternean Sea, been to the top of Hitlers Eagles Nest in Austria, layed my eyes on the Mona Lisa in Paris, visited Gen. Patton's grave, and driven convoys on the most dangerous road in the world (MSR Tampa in Iraq). That's just the start of it. My nickname is "Country Ass Will," and I was recently asked if I work on a farm just by the way I dress. My call sign is "Snowman" because my convoy commander said that I sound like the truck driver from "Smokey and the Bandit." R.I.P. Jerry Reed. I love country music, my family, my truck, God, and I have the utmost respect for anyone who has ever put themselves in harms way defending our country. I'm in Kuwait now doing convoys into Iraq with the Army. It's my second time for convoys and my third tour in OIF/OEF. I have an amazing girlfriend who will one day be my wife and have my kids. I love you more than anything Steph. If you want to know more about me, just ask.

Hey Matt,

I seen on your website that you have a "for the troops" section and i was wanting to send ya this pic of my brother, also a fan of yours now too; he is Germany still awaiting to have back surgery, the Chinook he was flying kinda crashed, he lost 2 of his friends in the crash and 6 of them survived (total 8 passengers) all while flying over bagdad .We were all hoping he would make it home for the forth of july, but the doctors wont clear him to fly until he has the surgery. Anyways, here is a picture of him...his name is Sgt. George Goicochea (go ahead and try saying it...lol). His friends and him loved the song Rolling Thunder a lot, makes them remember why they are doing what they are.
